New York City is a special place. In the morning, when the city wakes up. At night, when it doesn’t sleep. On the grid, in the park, next to the water, across the boroughs, in the bars, on the corners, it all adds up to the best city in the world. Here’s a great view of New York City, this time from above the clouds.

It’s like a little toy world from up there. Shot by Discover Footage, the city looks almost peaceful because the footage was taken in the early morning. That murmur before it’s back to normal.
